‘Women’s Health
Care’ at Planned Parenthood: 321,384 Abortions, Zero Mammograms
by Dr. Susan Berry 2 Jan 2018
The Planned Parenthood 2016-2017
annual report shows that
it continues to perform over 320,000 abortions per year while offering no
mammograms and minimal prenatal services to pregnant women.
Despite what its president Cecile Richards referred to as a
“tough year,” Planned Parenthood boosted its profits by $21 million – 27
percent – from last year as the group also took in nearly $544 million in
taxpayer funding.
Planned Parenthood considers itself to be the leader of
the pack when it comes to contraception, yet the organization’s birth control
services continued to drop in the past year to 2,701,866 – almost four percent
– since its 2015-2016 report when it
clocked 2,808,815 contraception services. This number was down from 2,945,059
in 2014-2015.
Similarly, the group has touted its prenatal and
maternity care, though the past year’s annual report shows the number of
prenatal services once again dropping – this year to 7,762 – a 17 percent
decline from the 9,419 performed the year before. In 2014-2015, Planned
Parenthood claimed 17,419 prenatal services performed.
Former Planned Parenthood manager Abby Johnson, who now
runs And Then There Were None, which helps abortion workers leave the industry,
said the group’s annual report “demonstrates that Planned Parenthood is not a
healthcare organization but a political movement, intent on forcing their pro-abortion views on as many Americans as possible.”
“Yet, there is hope that they will not succeed because
we’ve seen first-hand the impact that former abortion workers,
especially those from Planned Parenthood, have on closing their former places
of employment by helping people to leave – ensuring no one is left to run the
clinics,” Johnson added. “One of our former Planned Parenthood workers left her
job and took seven of her former co-workers with her.”
While Planned Parenthood performed 3,677,503 sexually transmitted
infection (STI) tests, and 706,903 HIV tests over the past year, the
organization performs no mammograms but lists 336,614 manual “breast
exams.”
America’s largest provider of abortions claims in its
annual report to be on the cutting edge of women’s health care services:
As we enter our 101st year, providing access to expert
health care and education remains at the center of what we do. We continue to
drive innovations in health care delivery by leveraging new technology to get
patients the care and information they need to live healthy lives and build the
futures they want.
“Innovations” touted by Planned Parenthood include over
one million appointments that were booked at its clinics online this past year,
a “gender neutral” app that helps individuals keep track of their menstrual
periods and birth control, and the fact that its affiliates in 17 states now
offer hormone treatments for transgender individuals who are uncomfortable with
their biological sex.
Not all was happy last year for the organization,
however, as Planned Parenthood notes it is facing a “hostile administration” in
Washington.
After years of enjoying its political clout with
establishment politicians and the liberal media, the abortion giant now faces
possible elimination of its taxpayer funds following years of scandals,
including Medicaid fraud,
allegations of child sex abuse cover-up,
and, most recently, alleged profiteering from
the sale of body parts of babies aborted in its clinics.
The U.S. Department of Justice recently launched a formal
investigation into Planned Parenthood over its alleged sale of the body parts
of babies aborted in its clinics for a profit.
“Every day, Congress and the Trump administration push
policies that undermine people’s ability to get the care they need to have
fulfilling lives,” Planned Parenthood laments. “We’ve witnessed relentless
efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act and block millions of people from
accessing care at Planned Parenthood health centers.”
Though many progressives denied the Women’s March in Washington was
focused on abortion rights, Planned Parenthood admits in its annual report that
it has been a “driving force” of the Trump resistance movement.
“After the largest demonstration in history, we built
strong partnerships with organizations and other resistance leaders,” the group
notes.
In its annual report, Planned Parenthood also touts its alliance
with both the entertainment and tech industries, as well as the launch of 50
new Planned Parenthood Generation Action college campus chapters.
Kristan Hawkins, President of Students for Life of
America, however, said in a statement sent to Breitbart News: “Consider that
while Planned Parenthood started 50 new campus groups, according to their
report, Students for Life started nearly 120 last year, and now has more
than 1,200 student groups on campuses in all 50 states.”
“Planned Parenthood reports training 750 young activists
from 11 cities while Students for Life trained nearly 11,000 students from
across the country,” Hawkins added. “The pro-life generation clearly has
more energy, passion, and motivation to defund Planned Parenthood.”
